HIS CURIOUS CAREER-wHO WILL LOSE THE MONEY.
The question is now being considered by the law
officers OF the Treasury whether the Government
will have to stand the loss OF money through oscar
j. Harveys forgeries or whetherit can be put upon
the banks that honored the drafts and afterward
collected the money on them at the Treasury. 1t
has always been held that banks must make good
any forged paper passed by them upon the Gov
ernmenU, but the circumstances In this case are
different from those in any previous case. Where
the Government has redeemed counterfeit bonds
banks presenting them have had to refund the
money. The attempt will be made to make the
banks stand this loss. Additional forged drafts
that have been paid swell the amount to nearly
$4,000.
Dispatches from Wilkesbarre, Pa, Harvey's
home state that he has had q romantic career,
and has not enjoyed good reputation. At the
death OF his father it is stated he got $4,000 by
borrowing upon the strength OF the supposition
that he was to have share OF his fathers estate
OF $780, OOO when the fact was that he had already
sQuandered his share OF the estate. 1t is stated
that he has always lead life OF extravaganza.
He was but twenty years old when he graduated
a%ons Sis Was
Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury, whom he
Is largely indebted for his first appointment in the
Treasury Department. In 1875 he went abroad
for travel and study, and cut great swell in
London and Paris In 1872 he founded the
Harvey prize for English at Lafayette College, an
annual prize of $40 in gold to the student OF the
junior class exceIling in English studies OF the
year, which is still extant. He was admitted to
